Chicago Sign Permit Amnesty Program

The City is offering a voluntary compliance period of six months starting on April 15, 2010, that allows existing businesses that are lacking permits for their existing signs, canopies, awnings, marquees or banners to apply for one or both of the Department of Buildings or Public Way Use Permits at no cost. By applying for all the proper permits during the amnesty, businesses will have all the permit fees waived and avoid future fines.

Who Is Eligible For the Chicago Sign Permit Amnesty Program?

Existing businesses with existing on-premise signs without the proper building permit and/or public way use permit are eligible for the amnesty program from April 15, 2010 to October 15, 2010.
